A Song a Day (1936)
Starring: Mae Questel (voice of Betty Boop) and Jack Mercer (voice of Grampy)
Directors: Dave Fleischer and Dave Tendlar
Rating: Six of Ten Stars
When Betty is overwhelmed from caring for all the patients in her animal hospital, Grampy comes up with a miracle cure.
There isn't much more story to this cartoon than what is summarized above. It's got some midly amusing jokes relating to the ailments the animals under Betty's care, some nice music, and a closing dance number (complete with the jazz hands). The best part of this installment is some very nicely done, 3D-feeling animation during the opening scenes.
"A Song a Day" isn't the best in the Betty Boop series, but it's cute and worth the eight minutes of your life it will take to watch. And since you're already here, you should go ahead and click below to do just that!
